“…To give better insight on whether vertical talus and clubfoot indeed share a common origin, however, it will be important to perform magnetic resonance angiography on a larger group of vertical talus and clubfoot patients. Previous research demonstrated a strong correlation between an absent anterior tibial artery in clubfoot and an absent posterior tibial artery in vertical talus [2,4,9,12,15,25,26]. This correlation did not hold true in the current study.…”

“…Most of the data gathered thus far regarding the prevalence of vascular anomalies with lower limb bone abnormalities has been performed using conventional arteriography [2,4,9,12,15,25,26], a procedure that is accurate but also invasive with risks including arterial damage, hemorrhage, ischemia, and reduction in limb growth.…”

“…Because clubfoot characteristics are clearly demonstrated by US, and in more detail than in clinical practice, US can be helpful to avoid performing an Achilles tenotomy too early or too late in the course of the treatment, thus preventing a "rocker-bottom" deformation or a relapse. US is also used to monitor the Achilles tendon during tenotomy as well as the neurovascular bundles (posterior tibial vessels), especially when the dorsalis pedis artery is absent, which has been found in 45% of children with clubfoot compared to 8% in controls [31].…”

Foot deformity in infants is the most common congenital musculoskeletal condition. A precise diagnosis can sometimes be impossible to establish clinically. Radiologic imaging plays a major role in the evaluation of musculoskeletal abnormalities. However conventional imaging techniques, such as plain radiographs of the foot, are of very little help in this age group because of the lack of ossification of the tarsal bones. US presents a significant advantage because it permits the visualization of cartilaginous structures. This leads to the detailed assessment of foot deformities in infants. Furthermore, US can also be used as a dynamic imaging modality. Different scanning views are beneficial to evaluate the complete anatomy of the foot; depending on the suspected clinical diagnosis, some planes are more informative to display the pathological features of a specific deformity. We describe the US findings of five of the most common foot deformities referred to our pediatric orthopedic clinic (clubfoot, simple metatarsus adductus, skewfoot, and oblique and vertical talus). For each deformity we propose a specific imaging protocol based on US to provide an accurate diagnosis. US is a complementary tool to the clinical examination for determining the diagnosis and the severity of the deformity and also for monitoring the efficacy of treatment. Radiologists investigating foot deformities in infants should consider using US for the detailed assessment of the foot in this age group.
